  • 7 minus 1 equals 6
  • 7 - 1 = 6

  • 7 less 2 is 5
  • 7 minus 2 equals 5
  • 7 - 2 = 5

  • 7 less 3 is 4
  • 7 minus 3 equals 4
  • 7 - 3 = 4

  • 7 less 4 is 3
  • 7 minus 4 equals 3
  • 7 - 4 = 3

  • 7 less 5 is 2
  • 7 minus 5 equals 2
  • 7 - 5 = 2

  • 7 less 6 is 1
  • 7 minus 6 equals 1
  • 7 - 6 = 1

  • 7 less 7 is 0
  • 7 minus 7 equals 0
  • 7 - 7 = 0

Repeat this lesson every day until children can easily recite and write the equations.
